BUFFALO. 



My notes of last week seem to have 

 miscarried; too bad. There were sev- 

 eral fine things contained in them, 

 but the world will pass along without 

 them. In another column you will 

 perhaps he kind enough to print a 

 brief account of our exhibition. Too 

 bad so many mu.st come on the same 

 date and much worse that of all the 

 miserable two days weather of the 

 season our first two days had to be 

 the recipient, and I fear we are not 

 the only ones. 



There was too much work and 

 thought of the show for the writer to 

 know how business was, but except 

 that which accompanies the last 

 sad rites we don't think there was 

 much. Our plants are home again 

 never in better order and we begin the 

 week with the determination that 

 henceforth our object shall be the dol- 

 lars, first premiums and glory can be 

 had by the other fellow. 



But our show is not all in vain. It 

 brought together more of the craft 

 than Buffalo has seen in a long time, 

 and that's worth a good deal. Never 

 do I remember such an attendance of 

 what may be called (George of Wilkes- 

 barre is author of the name) our Ag- 

 ricultural Members, although it is ab- 

 surd for him to thus name members 

 from cities larger than his own. There 

 were nine friends from Rochester, in- 

 cluding Salters, Vicks, Schlegels and 

 Kellars, There was Peter Ponderosa 

 Crowe from pent-up Utica, more given 

 to the world's frivolities than ever. 

 George "Bag 'em. Me Boy" Fancourt, 

 and friend from the Wyoming Valley; 

 Mr. Bartlett. of Jamestown: Harmon 

 & Burr, of Darian; T. A. Webb, Jas.

Cypress 

 Greenhouse Material. 



We are the pioneers in Clear Cypress Greenhouse Material. We 

 discovered that Cypress is better than any other wood for greenhouses 

 from top of posts up and we introduced it, and fought for it against 

 many prejudices, and finally succeeded in bringing it into general use. 



Others have attempted to follow where we lead, others are trying to 

 reap what we sowed, but we have the experience and are recognized as 

 experts in greenhouse construction,
